Which one is that?

The Voyage Home was considered a comedy.

 

[UssGlenn]

it's a Fish Out of Water comedy, appropriately enough.

I think The Voyage Home could be best described as a adventure comedy. The movie has comedy in it but also has other things such as social commentary,a ticking clock and character development and closure from what was done in the previous two films.

My feeling is they will make a fun and competent Star Trek movie that has plenty of adventure and comedy but don't expect it to really expect to be particular deep. It's basically just going to be like a MCU movie but hopefully one of the good ones. As for the changes they plan on doing. The good thing is I expect completely new characters so it's not going to be another re-imagining of already established characters. I am also going to make a prediction it is set many years after the TNG era and they will more or less pretend like Discovery's version of the future never happened. This allows them change things up and do their own thing and not beholden to much canon.

For some reason, I'm expecting some sort of "fish out of water" story. Like where a character from our present is plopped into the Trekverse, and makes light commentary on its many absurdities.

While fish out of water isn't the only comedy structure, it works well for more family-friendly comedy. Indeed, TVH basically had this structure, as was noted.

The good thing about doing this is they can do it without having a single legacy Trek character appear, since it will just be lightly taking the piss out of Star Trek (like a within-canon Galaxy Quest) and not rely on any of the particulars we know already.

So "Self-Insert Fanfic:The Movie"?

I can see that or at least a single character who sort of represents the modern day viewer. Someone who is thrust into the world of Star Trek much like we would be if we were somehow transported to the future but have never seen any of the old Trek shows and movies. I'm not just thinking of Galaxy Quest but also the John Meyers character in the first Hellboy movie. Hellboy was the star of the movie but he was the audience POV character.
